My name is Lavae Reed and I am an artist whose goal is to create art that shows the love and wickedness of myself as well as others. Everyone in this world is down right terrible; We lie and abuse one another, cheat and steal, as well as use each other as tools for personal gain. However, it is love that defines us, and it is grace that gives us strength. I wish to express myself and show the world who I am through my work. My art reveals the parts of myself that I tend to hide from others. It shows the ugliness of mankind but also illustrates the love and beauty that everyone seems to overlook.
